Medium dark colour red towards orange. Lots of berries and some sweet aromas that reminds me of some boxed chocolate. Dried fruit, raisins aafter some time in the glass.
Also tasting the wine leaves a sweet feeling. Good body and medium to soft tannins. The berries are abundant here as well but the sweetness is not of my taste.

Abundant nose of dark fruit: black cherries, cassis and some brighter red berry notes. Liquorice, florals, caramel and minty herbaceousness. Fullbodied palate with rich fruit, pretty nice acidity and decent grip. Quite some alcoholic heat, which didn't come through that much with food. Good length showing some chocolaty oak and herbs. Pretty good pairing with T-bone steak and bordelaise sauce.

Agreed with other reviews - hard to believe the 15%alc on the label. That being said, this wine has strong black cherry and spice (sandalwood?) on the nose. As it opens, the cherry evolves into blackcurrant. Long finish and the alcohol fire on the palate make it a hefty drinker, but I enjoyed it.

Medium body, low acidity, heavy fruit. Lots of blackberry and cherry with hints of chocolate. A bit too sweet for my taste.
